Principle
According to the findings of quantum physics, the energy of electromagnetic radiation (light) occurs only at discrete values. As a fundamental natural constant, Planck's constant h describes the increments of this energy gradation of light.
Benefits
- Specified for the requirements of the german final secondary-school examinations
- Especially for secondary schools
- Quantum and wave optics in a student experiment
Tasks
Determine Planck's constant h by measurements and observations of light-emitting diodes.
